Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spezia are in high spirits following a run of three consecutive victories, including a commanding 2-0 win over Cittadella, where their defensive discipline stood out. Francesco Esposito’s return from suspension adds further firepower to their attack. The hosts have been particularly strong at home, controlling possession and limiting opponents' opportunities. Meanwhile, Palermo have struggled on their travels, suffering four consecutive away defeats, which does not bode well ahead of this clash. Their defensive frailties have been evident, conceding multiple goals in recent fixtures.
Additionally, they will be without Gomis and Nedelcearu due to injuries, further weakening their backline. Palermo’s attack has lacked efficiency, and their midfield has often been overrun in crucial moments. Spezia’s confidence, combined with Palermo’s poor away form, suggests that the hosts will have the upper hand. The home side should be able to create enough chances to secure a comfortable victory. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday's game.
Highlighted Team (Spezia):

Spezia is a professional Italian club based in Spezia, Liguria. The Bianconeri secured promotion to the Serie A in the 2019/20 season, with the team beating Frosinone in the Serie B playoffs final. Spezia are well known for their black and white home jerseys, and black is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The club’s home ground Stadio Alberto Picco has the capacity of 10,336 people. The venue was opened back in 1919, with architect Gregotti being in charge of the project. In 2002 the club chiefs decided to reach an agreement with Inter which saw Spezia become Inter’s feeder club.
As a result, the likes of Goran Pandev, Aco Stojkov, and Alex Cordaz joined the Bianconeri in the first season. Spezia then suffered a bankruptcy, but in 2008 they were re-founded. In the 2020/21 season the Bianconeri will compete in the Italian elite division for the first time ever.
